A couple of question regarding library updates, the answer to which should probably go in the wiki Karellen is writing:
Re: 2, from what I've seen the first alpha-numeric file name found is the parent. So,
if your file names are "Alien (1979) - Director's Cut" and "Alien (1979) - Theatrical Version", the Director's Cut will be the Parent and first on the version list.
if your file names are "Riddick (2013) - Theatrical Version" and "Riddick (2013) - Unrated Director's Cut", then the Theatrical Version will be the Parent and first on the version list.
it'd be nice for the wiki to make this clear so that folks understand how file naming impacts which version will be the parent and how that impacts the order on the versions list of movies.
- Is there any file naming convention that defines the version name?
- If there are multiple version of a movie in a directory what is the file naming convention which defines which is the Parent vs Child as the library is updated?
